Yes but if it's anything like the Hollingsworth
project that this person runs then joining the project won't do much good as
the results are kept hidden.

I think this is one of the most irksome
habits of some project administrators.


I can just picture this character huddled
close to the brazier chortling 'my data, all mine'

 
I wouldn't mind betting this is the sort
of administrator that never replies to emails as well

No, when Terry is listed as admin, he really is.  I'm sure he would be
glad to have help, though.

Yes, that's odd.

Both Hardy projects are "wide open".  That is to say, all Ray had to
do was click the "JOIN" button on the group join page, and he would
immediately be a member of whichever one he chose (or both, for that
matter).
